What does it look like when someone fully surrenders to the assignment God has placed on their life?

In today’s episode of the Peaceful Presence Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Brian Simmons, the lead translator of The Passion Translation Bible, to hear the story behind the work, the journey, and the heart that shaped it.

From remote missions… to powerful encounters… to spending nearly two decades of his life translating the Bible…

But what stayed with me wasn’t the scale of what he did, but rather the heart and passion behind it all..

I hope this conversation gives you a fresh perspective and speaks to your heart in a new way.

Have you been feeling distant from God… and you’re not sure why?

In this short teaching from the Draw Closer to God series on the Peaceful Presence Podcast, Olivia Figuered shares how unresolved anger and unforgiveness may be quietly blocking your peace and your connection with God.

Many of us are praying, showing up, and trying to do the “right things”… but still feel disconnected. What if the issue isn’t what you’re doing, but what you’re holding onto?

Drawing from the book of Matthew and real-life experience, this episode walks you through:

➡️Why anger doesn’t just stay where you put it...it cycles back to you.
➡️How unforgiveness affects your thoughts, peace, and ability to hear God
➡️The difference between forgiving a person and excusing their behavior
➡️What to do when you feel hurt not just by people...but even by God
➡️A simple, practical way to release anger and reconnect with Him

✨ This is part of the Draw Closer to God series - short teachings designed to help you:

Hear God more clearly
Let go of what’s weighing you down
Walk in peace, purpose, and trust

What if the hard things you’re walking through right now… aren’t happening to you, but are actually drawing you closer to God?

In this episode of my Draw Closer to God series, I’m sharing something the Lord has been showing me...a different way to look at life, challenges, and even the everyday moments we often overlook.

So many of us wait until things fall apart before we turn to God. But what if every moment... the good, the hard, and everything in between is an invitation to know Him more?

In this episode, we talk about:

Why we often seek God in hard seasons
How to begin recognizing Him in your everyday life
The shift that brings more peace, clarity, and connection with Him
And a simple way to start drawing closer to God today

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just wanting more of God in your life, I hope something in this episode encourages you.
